  Most of these firmware images are in binary format and extracted from the chips directly.  Not sure how this was done, perhaps they were removed from the radio and read in an eeprom reader, perhaps there is an unknown to me way to read and write binary images to the radio directly.  

 If you are doing upgrades using the depot CPS and an SRIB, you need to use the CVN files which are encrypter/cyphered and the format required by CPS.  

The CVN Files here are:

XTS3000 Digital CVN R07.71.06 DSP IN 08.03.05.cvn  - Latest code for the XTS3000 1 meg
Astro Portable CVN R07.71.06 DSP IN 08.03.05.cvn   - Latest code for the Astro Saber 1 meg
ASabrXTS3k_tvn6313y.cvn                            - Fails checksum, unsure
5X_XTS3000Digital_TVN6313Z 9600.cvn                - Unsure

If you have aditional files or information on these, please share them.

 The below information was provided in two different text files which came with this.  If you have any info on how to use these please share it before you die, so others can continue to use these radios into the future.  As of 2021, many people still run the MICOR repeaters circa 1975, and we can expect the ASTRO radios to continue to see use into 2045 and beyond.

------------------------------------

Here's my collection of ASTRO firmware. I figured, why hoard it for the rest of time? 
Hopefully this encourages people to experiment. 
All of these images were ripped out-of-circuit and no depot tools or other copyrighted software was utilized.

This first post will contain ASTRO Portable host firmware.

A lesson for those who don't know:

cp_D01.xx.xx - VSELP based host firmware ANCIENT ANCIENT (XTS3000 only)
ap_R03.xx.xx - VSELP based host firmware
R04.xx.xx - IMBE based host firmware (ANCIENT!) No AGC. No AES-256. No Soft ID decode. No Omnilink. No Analog Trunking ID Display.
R05.xx.xx - IMBE based host firmware (newer; supports Omnilink trunking). No AGC. No AES-256. No Soft ID decode. No Analog Trunking ID Display.
R06.xx.xx - IMBE based ASTRO25 trunking/conventional firmware (9600). Supports AGC. No AES-256. Analog Trunking ID Display.
R07.xx.xx - IMBE based 3600 trunking/conventional firmware (late-version; 1MB only vocons/controllers) Supports AGG, AES-256, Soft ID encode/decode, Analog Trunking ID Display (R07.22.01+) 



Portables:

R03.33.00 - VSELP Conventional & 3600bps Trunking
